Members robbwolff Posted March 2, 2013 Members Share Posted March 2, 2013 Fascinating piece of history! I did get a kick out of reading the blurb that Denise Alexander played Alice Horton on Days of our Lives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2013 I didn't even catch that. Sometimes they let such crazy things through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 2, 2013 Members Share Posted March 2, 2013 Great article. However, should that read Feb 66? A Time For Us was long gone by 68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2013 This was February 1967. 68 was a typo. Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted March 2, 2013 Members Share Posted March 2, 2013 It mentioned that Don MacLaughlin was in his tenth year on As the World Turns - which premiered in 1956. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted March 2, 2013 Members Share Posted March 2, 2013 A Woman To Remember was according to that article the first five-days-a-week tv show? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327380/combined Sounds like an interesting show premise and surprisingly "modern" by todays standards.

Members DRW50 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2013 February 1967 - that means the article was probably written in late 1966. Or if not, it would still be ten years, as ATWT started in April 1956. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dc11786 Posted March 3, 2013 Members Share Posted March 3, 2013 This was a great article, Carl. Thanks for posting. I was shocked that Mary K. Wells was on "Edge of Night" in four different roles. It was nice to read about some of those parts I hadn't heard of. I didn't realize Denise Alexander had been on "General Hospital" prior to playing Leslie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'd read a little about that (Denise) but not much. A Woman to Remember is one of those shows I wish we could see something, anything of, especially with Constance Ford involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted March 3, 2013 Members Share Posted March 3, 2013 What's sad is that columns/celebrity news programs outside the soap press is STILL getting soap history wrong!! I wish, for once, when a mainstream celebrity news source like ET reports something about soaps (which is rare, I know) they get everything right.

Members dc11786 Posted March 3, 2013 Members Share Posted March 3, 2013 You're confusing "A Woman to Remember" with the similarly named "Woman With a Past." "To Remember" was an early (Dumont?) serial about a radio soap opera which featured Mona Bruns. It aired in the late 1940s / early 1950s. It only aired for about four or five months and there was a change in the schedule somewhere. I think it aired as a half hour on Sundays for two months and then nightly around 7 for another two months. I'm sure some one else will remember the details or look it up. "Past" was the Constance Ford serial about Ford's dress designer character who had a daughter with a criminal and was in love with a married man that ran for about six months in 1954.

Members DRW50 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2013 Thanks. I'd like to see that one too. I think I remember a story about how hot the filming was, and Bruns nearly passed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
